To start this card off I took a panel of smooth white cardstock and grabbed my Clarity Stencil Brushes and I ink blended the background using Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks.
I die cut the Warm Wishes die 3 times from white, pale pink and a slightly deeper pink background that perfectly matched the ink blending. I adhered them together slightly offset so that you can see the three colours and then glued this to the decorative panel.
To build the big pile of snowballs, I took the group of snowballs image from the Snowball Fight stamp set and stamped the image three times on masking paper. I fussy cut these 3 images. I grabbed some Copic friendly cardstock and using pale gray ink I started across the bottom with stamping the design, masking and stamping where necessary to overlap and slowly I repeated this building the snowball pile higher and higher. I fussy cut the snow pile, backed it with foam tape and applied it to the panel. I used a Copic marker to add colour to the snowballs and then glittered them using Stickles in 'Crystal'.
On yet more Copic friendly paper I stamped the kittens from the stamp set ... could they BE any cuter? I coloured them with Copic markers and highlighted some points with a white gel pen. I also emphasised their eyes just a little with a black waterproof marker with a very fine tip. Images were fussy cut and also backed with foam tape and applied.
Just a few finishing touches. Firstly I stamped the little sentiment to a strip of cardstock and popped it up on foam tape and applied it and then I chose some Nuvo Drops and Dream Drops and more Stickles glitter and dotted the colours randomly to create some twinkle and fun!
Happy crafting everybody - see you next time!
